It's not even a fraction of Republicans, but rather people who voted in a Republican Primary.


What makes me laugh is the idea that wanting things that aren't necessarily constitutional is somehow unique to the Republican Party.


Oh, don't get me wrong, as a moderate myself I tend to see stupid shit from both sides.

It's just that certain Republicans almost seem like to want to one-up and consider and EVEN MORE STUPID IDEA than the stupid shit certain Democrats spew out of their mouths.

Its not just, "not necessarily constitutional" , its plainly unconstitutional as it goes against the part mentioning the separation of Church

A: Yes, a mistake. If christianity is not culturally homogeneous, then you can't really claim that the US is culturally christian.
B: You mean the law that would be changed by said amendment? That law? So, in other words, you're just pulling it out of your ass.


A. Christianity itself is a heterogeneous theology. It is accurate to say that the vast majority of America is culturally Christian, by virtue of being under the umbrella that is the heterogeneous theology that is Christianity. So yes I can, because it's correct.

B. I'm sorry that you don't understand the inter workings of the Constitutional Amendment process, but as I've repeatedly shown, that the Amendment would change the 1st Amendment is an assumption not based in fact.

Well, no...
If it was done by way of a constitutional amendment, it would by definition, be constitutional.

Unlike Islam that is an official religion in Saudi Arabia Christianity is a tolerant doctrine to non-Christians and helps democracy which clearly shows the examples of the above mentioned nations.

It is a fact that Protestantism is deeply rooter in the national roots of the USA and it has a lot of influence on the political system of the US, whether the liberals admitted that or not.

Only if you either have no knowledge of the Constitution or don't give a fuck about it.

The Constitution can be amendmend or changed, it is not a problem. Every patriotic American should know of the culture of the US.

It's not that Democrats aren't.

Is that the new Republican shift to even farther to the right seems the most intolerant, pathetic, and ill-thought movement in the 21st century.

It's almost as if they revere the GUilded age and Victorian England.

The Constitution does not, anywhere, have the words "Separation of Church and State". It's just not in there.

That being said, it explicitly states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion", so this entire thread seems moot. Which might explain why it has devolved into a mash-up of "Your politics/religion/viewpoint/country SUCKS"

It will be the best to put this issue on a referendum. Unfortunately, the liberals are to scared of the people if they raise their voice. It is cynicall considering how do they love to claim they are democrats.

And even I as a Christian am opposed to it.

See, the problem with an amendment is that then Christianity and the government will be more intertwined. With how intolerant America has been throughout its history I just don't buy this won't gain them any benefits. I cannot for the life of me see the fucking point of doing it other than fucking people over with their stupid tripe and idiotic intolerance.

And . . . he said "its plainly unconstitutional as it goes against the part mentioning the separation of Church"
So I correctly pointed out that the Constitution does not, anywhere, have the words, or mention of, "Separation of Church and State". It's a phrase taken somewhat out of context by the SCOTUS, not something explicitly stated in The Constitution of the United States.
